Go out into the sun

Research suggests that light stimulates brain chemicals that improve mood. For an extra boost, get your quota of sunlight, in the morning.

Talk to an enthusiastic friend

Not only do you gain energy from interacting with other people, but you also get their emotions. Instead of infecting others with your foul mood, it makes sense to grab the energy of an enthusiastic friend

Write a cheque

No matter how small – for a good cause, without expecting anything in return. Remember you can write a cheque, even when ill.

Go take a brisk walk

While walking, make it a point to take deeper breaths and more oxygen. Take a walk in the park with your loved ones preferably or alone. As you walk and keep taking deep breaths, you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Enough of procrastination

Try completing one or two unfinished jobs, which you kept postponing for a long time. Unfinished tasks tend to weigh you down.

So if you need to complete an unfinished report or any other nagging issue, try to tackle the same. You would be surprised at the amount of tension, which gets released from your system.

Clean up your room

Tidy your surroundings. Clean up unwanted files on your computer, Mobile and even the mess in your locality, even with a couple of other friends. You will feel a rush of energy, when you clean things up.

Go window shopping

Visiting perfume shops and flower shops lifts up the mood and raises the energy levels.

Try acquiring a new skill

Research French language learning classes in your neighborhood or try learning the bicycle / car outdoors.

Be a good citizen

And a good human being by visiting the sick in the hospital, being helpful to an elderly person or lifting the spirits of a grumpy individual.

Listen to your favourite music

This gives an instant boost of energy. Research has proved that even patients in hospitals or the sick at home have a faster rate of recovery when they listen to music.

Or watch your favourite movies.

More than all the above mentioned quick fixes to mood lifting, it makes sense to apologize to someone you hurt in the immediate past. Also if there is someone you need to forgive, do so without delay.

These two actions alone will lift your mood quickly and you will be surprised by the effectiveness of all the other strategies, too.
